REPOST: Forest Gump
With the London Marathon now three weeks away, this looked an appropriate re-post! (from November 2007)
Here's a story from a few years ago. I used to do more running than I do now, as did Tim Hunt, a friend of mine.
Tim called over one night with a big grin on his face, full of what had just happened. He'd been out running and had run past a group of girls- and one of them 'wolf whistled' him. Well, Tim was full of it! He dined off that story for a good while afterwards!
I went running myself a few days later in Yaxley, where we lived at the time, and sure enough, up in front of me were a group of girls. Recalling Tim's often told story, I pushed my shoulders back, increased my pace and ran past them looking as cool as possible. I waited for the wolf whistle. Nothing. Then, just as I passed them, one of the girls called out 'Run Forest Run!'
Tim dined out on that story too!
If you would like to sponsor me, running for the Esther Homes in India, here is the web address:
